As I mentioned in a previous post, the phone companies recalled a large number of these transformers several years ago. They were found to be a fire hazard. I was thrilled to find one in my present rental property. It is possible that you are finding newer, safer versions of the things, but I'd be a little cautious about reusing them. Paul
